Healdsburgers

Lightly edited, here’s a plea for a good cause from Lorraine Plass, Cdr, American Legion Veterans:

I’d like you to post a note about the Healdsburg Fourth of July celebration. We’re the 501(c)19 Non-Profit group of all volunteers who for no salary have taken on the task of running a fireworks program for the 4th of July, since the City banned fireworks 20 years ago. This is our 19th year and we could use folks to mail in a couple of bucks.  (Just think – if everyone in Healdsburg sent in $2.00, we’d have 3/4 of it paid). I’m short about $6,500 just to finish paying off the bill, which is COD on the 4th. If you can lend a hand, I’d appreciate passing the word on through even your own personal emails to friends throughout the City.

Address for donations:

American Legion Veterans
P.O. Box 208
Healdsburg, CA 95448

You’ll also find collection jars at many businesses throughout town, and of course you may donate at the event itself. But the most bang for the buck is to donate before the event. It’s always a great event, and a great cause. Please dig deep for this excellent community event.
